MANAUS (AM) – The Federal Police (PF) launched, on the morning of Wednesday the 14th, “Operation Full Protection II” (Operação Proteção Integral II) across all Units of the Federation (UF), aimed at tackling cybercrimes that violate the sexual dignity of children and adolescents. During the execution of search and seizure warrants, 44 individuals were caught in the act.
Simultaneously, 129 search and seizure warrants and eight preventive arrest warrants were executed across all federation units, focusing on the identification and arrest of child and adolescent sexual abusers. This joint effort involved 462 federal police officers and 175 civil police officers.
The operation seeks to integrate federal and state police forces in the fight against child and adolescent sexual abuse crimes, aiming to identify and hold accountable those who store, share, produce, or sell such material. The action also reinforces the commitment of public agents to the protection of the sexual dignity of children and adolescents.
It is also worth noting the continuity of the work begun in the National Operation Full Protection I (Operação Nacional Proteção Integral I), launched on 12 April, demonstrating the Federal Police’s ongoing effort to protect children and adolescents.
In 2025 alone – between January and April – the Federal Police executed 612 arrest warrants for fugitives wanted for sexual crimes, demonstrating the commitment of all areas of the Federal Police in combating these offences.
The Federal Police urges parents and guardians to monitor and guide their children both online and offline, protecting them from the risks of sexual abuse.
